[0002] Uveal melanoma (uveal melanoma, UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults. . The degree of malignancy is high and the prognosis is poor. Not only can it lead to loss of vision, but also distant metastasis to the liver, lungs and other parts, which seriously threatens the life of the patient. The 10-year disease-related survival rate is only 50%.
[0003] In the past 30 years, the diagnosis and treatment of UM have made significant progress. The DecisionDx-UM test can classify UM patients into Class 1 (low risk of metastasis) and Class 2 (high risk of metastasis). The main treatment methods for UM are short-distance patch radiotherapy, laser therapy, local excision and enucleation, etc., but the 5-year survival rate of patients has not improved yet. The reason is that even if the local treatment is successful, 50% of the pa...
